Common questions.
Direct answers.
Everything you need to know about pricing, timeline, ownership, tracking, and how the work actually gets done. Still missing something? Just call.
Getting started
How fast can you get my business ranked on Google?
Most clients see page 1 rankings within 3-6 weeks for neighborhood-level keywords. City-wide service terms ("plumber Toronto") usually take 8-12 weeks. Our Toronto HVAC client moved from page 3 to position #2 in 18 days - but they had an existing site we rewrote.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Basic business info: name, address, phone, email, service areas, hours, and access to your Google Business Profile if you have one. We also need 5-10 photos. Everything else, we handle.
Service areas
What areas do you serve in the GTA?
Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Ajax, Pickering, and surrounding cities. We pick markets by category competition, not city size.
Can you help businesses outside of Toronto?
We can. We specialize in Toronto and the GTA where we have proven local market knowledge, but the playbook works anywhere with local search demand.
Services & packages
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Optional $99/mo maintenance add-on. Monitoring, content optimization, GBP posts, review management. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
What's the difference between Starter and Professional plans?
Starter ($299) is a launch package - site, GBP setup, basic local SEO. Professional ($499) adds Twilio call tracking, real-time analytics, 15 premium citations, advanced schema, and review generation. Most clients pick Professional.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes, any time. Whatever you've already paid credits toward the upgrade.
Pricing & ROI
How much does a local SEO website cost?
Starter $299, Professional $499 (most popular), Premium $799 - all one-time. No hidden fees. Optional monthly maintenance $99. See the pricing page for full details.
What kind of ROI should I expect?
Most clients see 5-10x ROI in the first 3 months for build-and-own packages. Our HVAC client took 47 calls in month 1 from a $499 setup - that math works out fast.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. One-time setup, month-to-month maintenance, pay-per-lead per call. You can leave anytime with nothing owed.
Google Business Profile
Do I need Google Business Profile for local SEO?
Yes. GBP is foundational - it puts you in Maps and the local pack. We claim, optimize, and maintain it as part of every plan.
What if I already have a Google Business Profile?
Even better. We audit the existing profile, fix what's broken, and optimize what's underused. Most existing GBPs we see are missing categories, photos, services, and a posting cadence.
Results & performance
What types of businesses benefit most from local SEO?
Service businesses with a defined geographic service area: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, contractors, restaurants, truck repair, generator repair, home renovation. Basically anyone whose customers Google "[service] near me" or "[service] [city]."
Will I be able to track calls from my website?
Yes. Professional and Premium plans include Twilio call tracking with recordings. You see exactly which keywords and campaigns drove which calls.
How do you measure success?
Rankings for target keywords, calls/leads generated, GBP impressions and actions, and ultimately bookings. Monthly reports cover all of it. The call log is the source of truth.
What if I don't see results?
If we don't produce improved rankings and increased calls within 60 days, we work with you until we do. Our reputation is built on real results.
Technical
Will I own my website?
Yes, completely. Site, domain, design files, content, GBP - all yours. If you ever leave, you keep everything.
Can I make updates myself?
Yes. We can train you on basic updates, or we handle everything through monthly maintenance. Your choice.
Is my site mobile-friendly?
Every site we build is mobile-first and hits Core Web Vitals on mobile. Over 60% of local searches happen on phones - non-negotiable.
